blastman8888 yer.. camera nva does any favours : from the left screen to right edge.. keep going right another five meters or fifteen feet. However whatever just loaded him that was huge one bucket and he was on his way I say five hundred tonner front shovel w/ swing gate? Those trucks are (154 tonne maxD by vims) go slo mode. So it is universal for if someone doesn’t wanna wave all the time: they’ll just look out the left mirrors... hahah and then scratch there heads? 😂 lolz
Still gotta here the mine boss though. Proud he's wearing the proper PPE gear.... wheres your steel toe flip flops, respirator and hard hat super trucker?
I operate one from mon-fri 6am-4pm then sat 6am-12. Where I work we have 3 770g trucks. Which we get loaded by a 992 loader. 2-2.5 scoops and we're fully loaded. There only 40 tonners. We can fit 50 though. Lol. Soon we are getting rid of them and getting 100 ton trucks bc our quarry is getting a brand new plant for crushing stone etc.. it'll be another couple years before it's finished though. But yeah I love driving them. Literally my first day of work. I watched a few safety videos, then got put right into a truck. Only 3 days of driving with somebody then after that I was on my own.
Fun to operate but very dangerous as well more so than a road semi truck and trailer, due to their sheer size and weight with the power it outputs, as another commenter said thank goodness for air ride seats. Smart to wear a bit of hearing protection to muffle out some of the noise, too bad you do not have a radio or other music device to listen to as well other than the hum of motor and creaking and clanking. Have you ever heard of ETF Mining Equipment? check them out as they are in the process of building BEV Mining trucks from 180 to 774 metric tons with Haul Train Configurations from 568 to 6192 metric tons as well.
Can you tell me how you got started with driving these trucks. I've been unsuccessful in finding out anything on the rigid frame large haul trucks. Like jobs /schools.
I'd love to drive one of these (in semi truck training now)! Which licensing do you need to drive and are haul truck drivers very in demand? It's like driving a house! 😂
I've seen people use the retarder all the time, but the service brake (brake next to accelerator) is never to be used at high speeds but best used when entering the area you're being loaded. That way you have your right hand ready at the shifter...
How do you start working on such a truck? What kind of license do you require? Are there many places in europe where such trucks are used? (if yes where?), how much per month do you get payed for this kind of job? Im currently driving lorrys all over europe, have an C+E license, but im always on the lookout for good opportunities when it comes to operating heavy equipment. If anyone can provide info i will greatly appreciate it.
Simeon Bairaktaris the mining game in the UK is pretty dead now due to the falling price of coal. you really need to know someone in the trade to get a job
Look into the International Operating Engineers Union, and seek out an apprenticeship program near you. The pay, benefits, and experience is amazing. Best of luck!
Cat will configure them anywhere from 1100 to 1450 depending on application and customer. The standard tune for the 3512 is 1500 hp. So in these units they are very under stressed.
@@aarons5259 manuallty shifting gears and using the clutch would be a nightmare on that thing. The clutch would be super heavy and the gear lever would be impossible to reach the cab. You could make it so that the clutch and shifter are electronically controller but that just adds complexitiy. An automated manual transmission or a torque converter transmission are better.
@@amateurtorque6709 a manual transmission would be more reliable. In manual transmissions you slip the clutch ONLY for a short period of time to get the vehicle moving. If you want to go slower you just use lower gearing, you dont slip the clutch
No grader, park up, why stuff your back, but then again you are probably in America. Truck operator has air ride seat set too soft, wonder he was not bouncing of the cab ceiling
@@coalminer1553 I herded a 71 and a 73 and they bounce like a ball. I finally just had to bounce with them because trying to hold on will kill you after a while. Arms and shoulders cramping is no fun A-tall!
They said that 20 years ago.. Ditto the trains.. :-) But I wonder how the satellite might perform the all all the prestart safety inspections and offer the continuous multi-sensory safety input offered by a human operator? And if they make changes that make the environment less safe (than human) then liability/culpability issues arise...
Everybody goes into a big song-and-dance over driving dumpies and it's mostly all BS. The truth of the matter is you could get a well trained chimpanzee to drive one, which is probably why there are so many women in dumpies these days! Put 'em in an old R model Flintstone with a twin stick quad box and then we'll find out who the real truck drivers are!
It's cool hearing a truck make the same diesel noises as my tugboats.
Powered by the same engine even.
Is it really the same? That's very cool.
loved watching the rev counter and the noise from the V16. I would love to see more videos like this, maybe including close ups of the rev counter.
Thinking about driving these for work, laughed when the giant sun visor came down lol. Doesn't look so bad thanks to the air ride seat!

Man I miss this, and the 789B I normally drove everyday and the 793c two days a week. Great times. Your company needs more two way chatter though
The less 2way chatter the better. No idea how this guys radio is so quiet tho
Wow I wish my work had 2way radio that was so quiet
Cool to see these in action. I weld up a part of the frame for the 785, 789, and 793 trucks at cat.

The novelty wears of pretty quick lol

How much does that pay?

Good job !
Imagine if the power steering went out in that thing.
There is emergency power steering. It kicks in automatically, so you can get to the shop. Electric one
Misel Dolic The supplemental steering on the 785 is not electric, it is done with accumulators. The 777 and smaller have electric back up.

thank god for air ride seats.
Kiko Mura why is that?
if you dont have that air ride you will be fucked
The truck I drive doesn’t have air ride seats
Fain
Testing one of these right now 785D
Awesome
It's coal mine it's not ? Does the road slip when it rain ? or they still running couse used gravel stone ?

Not everyone cut out working in a office
They have Blaupunt radios in them great sound
Try the night shift pissing with rain and trucks sliding awe over the place
I'm going for my certification soon
How'd it go?
85 b model eas my truck loved surface mining
It looks like you are on the moon. Also, do you enjoy driving these? How often do these things need to be refilled with Diesel?
Each 12 hour shift the tank is refilled
those steering alarms are so loud on the older trucks
Nice
Can you tell me how you got started with driving these trucks. I've been unsuccessful in finding out anything on the rigid frame large haul trucks. Like jobs /schools.
I can tell you where do you live and you don't go to school
Colorado school of the Rockies I believe has a certification class
Man that looks rough, where's all the graders at
where are you working
What is that lever you're pulling? In a semi, that would be your trailer brakes.
it's the retarder lever/ transmission brake
chrisdude2 Makes sense. Thanks
Not a Transmission brake, works through the wheels and oil cooled
Are those trucks stick? Don't have time to watch video sorry
Very nice sir 🙏🇮🇳

How many miles to the gallon do you get with that thing?
They get 0.3 miles to the gallon, in fact they are measured in litres/hour, because they use so much
Sir mujhe bhi is gadi ko chalana hai to kya kya dacument lagega
My question is, when do you mostly use the retarder brake? Always to slow down? Or the brake next to the accelerator? Please help , lol.
I've seen people use the retarder all the time, but the service brake (brake next to accelerator) is never to be used at high speeds but best used when entering the area you're being loaded. That way you have your right hand ready at the shifter...
Truk keras bikin sakit punggung
I would have to harden up the seat, I couldn't stand all that bouncing when I was on the trucks.
So if it took 7 minutes 30 seconds for one run that means you’re doing 96 runs a day if you’re doing 12 hours which is 720 minutes
I'm suprised he drove off while his bed was raised, MSHA doesn't like that at all.

डंपर के बारे में कुछ जानकारी दें
out of this perspective it seems it's absolutely easy to operate thsi machine, but I guess it's not?
most heavy equipment isn't hard to "operate" per say, but it takes a lot of experience to do it safely, be productive, and do a good job.
That's right indeed! are you also operator?
Grader must have been down, Huh?
Saturday shift no grader
No grader, park up, why stuff your back, but then again you are probably in America. Truck operator has air ride seat set too soft, wonder he was not bouncing of the cab ceiling

i wanna do a burd in it
You need to explain everything that you are doing to us , because we are learning, you can't be mute and be operating
Habis dumping rpm di atas 10 tancap gas, bisa abuse.. Hmm 😢
Pramono Anwara not really, built to take more abuse than that
chrisdude2 dumping rpm up 10 no abuse?
Pramono Anwara no full rpm gives more power to the hydraulics or the load will not tip off
chrisdude2 may next time you can hold at 700 rpm. Its enough for rise dump body.
Rough trucks, electric is the best....
Typical. Not a grader in a million miles. The backbone takes the impact.
The roads look ta be in pretty good nick , that seat his in looks like it needs adjusting , like a bouncing castle
I was thinking the same thing Alan adjusted the seat to where it ain’t bouncing like a basketball. I don’t know how the guy stands it
